The Lights in Ogden

My Brother and his family came into town from

Arizona. They haven't spent a Christmas here I think ever

so we went to see the lights up in Ogden with the Fam.

This is the Bham Fam (except Skee who is taking the pic)

Stockton Hunter Harley Bostyn Emma and Peyton.

It is a lot of fun, you walk around and there are displays with

Santa, his helpers, reindeer and all sorts of fun things.

Easton taking a peek at Santa in action.

The Boyz

We had quite a few meltdown during the 20 min walk,

but that is life right?? The only one who didn't make

a sound was the one strapped to my back!!

Afterwards we went back to Gmas house and

had yummy Hot Chocolate.

Merry Christmas

I LOVE these people

They make me smile everyday!!

Before church on Sunday I got the kids all dressed up

in their cute matching outfits and thought I would snap some pics.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Timber...

As most of you know, my husband and kids LOVE to

play football in the basement. Well they got a little carried

away and.....

It came crashing down due to a crappy pass by SKEE!!

We managed to prop it up with some books, hopefully it will

last 5 more dayz....

How can I be mad at that....

I guess I'm really glad that none of the kids got attacked

by the falling tree and on a good note I get a new one.

We have had this tree for 9 years so I guess it's time to update!!

Gingerbread Men

Peyton wanted Kylie to come over and decorate gingerbread

men, so we invited over the Jones. The guys watched football

(shocking) and the kids decorated.

The kids are too busy to look up.

Berklie really liked the frosting

These 4 were very focused.

Peyton and Kylie were so silly they made faces and ate

the frosting instead of decorating with it.

Bday Boy

We had the Grandparents come over for

cake and ice cream and presents.

He got a rip-stick.

On his second try he hopped right on...they are very hard

to balance on. He is excited to try it outside.

The BIG 8 years old.

He is now officially a Scout and luckily his Dad got

called to be his Leader.

Happy Birthday Peyton

Happy Birthday Peyton.

I can't believe that you are 8!!

We love you so much. Our lives changed the second I found

out I was pregnant. You are such a great big brother

to Easton, Stockton and Berklie.

Cute little Peyton with sooooo much hair.

My handsome 8 yr old.

I thought I would share his birth story real fast.

Everything went as planned during the first 7 months of pregnancy,

we found out at 22 weeks we were going to have our 1st little BOY.

He was a little shy so it took a couple of appointments to

find out the sex. At 71/2 months I started swelling and ended

up getting Toxemia. I was put on bed rest and gained A LOT of weight.

But I would do it again!! My blood pressure went up and down a lot so

I remained on bed rest until 10 days before my due date

my Dr asked me What I was doing tomorrow and if I wanted to be a MOM!!

Kind of crazy to hear those words. So I was induced at 5:30 am on the

Dec 18th 2001. He came into this world at 5:35 pm a healthy,

7lbs 6oz, 21 1/1 in, TONZ of crazy blond hair little boy.

I had a really hard time delivering which caused a 4th degree

tear, but was happy to have my little boy here and safe.

I swear I blinked and here he is 8 and ready to get Baptized and be

a cub scout!!

We love you Peyton!!

Cleaning the Church

Our family got the opportunity to clean the church

for Family Home Evening.

It is a Great Blessing because the kids both said they would

be more careful with their fishy crackers in sacrament!!

The kids had a blast. We gave them each a big

vacuum and set them free.

Peyton cleaning the classrooms.

Stockton got the hallways

Berklie and Easton got their own little sweepers.

We were there for a little over an hour and they kept busy the whole time.

Santa Claus

Santa Claus visited my parents house and came

to find out if everyone has been good, what they want

and to give a little gift.

The grandkids (minus 3), gpa gma and Santa

Peyton wants a DS...he changes everytime we ask

so let's hope that Santa can figure out exactly what he wants.

Stockton wants a DS...he has know for a while and

hasn't changed his mind...my kind of kid.

Easton wants a car...I love when they are soo easy to please.

Berklie just wanted to GET OFF!!

I can't believe there is only 14 days till Christmas.

I better get cracking, I am usually done by October!!

The Rec Center

We all went and got our H1N1 shots and I had

told the kids if they were good and didn't cry

then we would go to the Rec Center and Ice Skate.

The kids picked the order they wanted their shots,

and luckily they got the mist...so only poor Berklie had to get the shot.

We got to the Rec Center and they were doing Skate lessons so

we hit the rock wall.

Easton climbing so high

Peyton, Stockton and Hayden

Even Berklie climbed to the top!!

It was Eastons first time Ice Skating and he was so excited.

Berklie wanted in on the fun

Peyton and Hayden are professionals...well kind of

Stockton was Awesome once he got he hang of it again.

Easton doing so Good!!

Berklie had a blast...the guy was nice and let her

skate in her shoes.

Winter Wonderland

I love the white fluffy snow.

I made a snowman kit...but, the snow isn't

snowman making snow so we will wait until the next storm.

Stockton and his snow angels

Easton just wants pictures taken of him

I didn't realize at such a young age they understand

that eating snow is just part of winter.

We have a slide across the street and it was pretty icy...

makes for a great jump!!

Stocky got some sweet air!

I thought Berklie would cry when she hit the ground, but

she was hysterically laughing and wanted more!

Ward Christmas Party

We got all bundled up and went on a walk to see

all the lights in the neighborhood. Brrrrr it was cold.

Notice Skee is in shorts...

We went to see Santa at the ward Christmas Party

there was a really good turn out.

The boys didn't mind him, but Berklie was not a fan.

After dinner and Santa we came back to our house and

got out Rock Band. Our favorite winter Wii game.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I love this time of the year.

We decorated the tree this year while Skee

was out fighting the crowds on Black Friday!!

Skee got the lights up before it snowed this year!!

The kids were so excited that Skee let them on the roof

to help. I was way paranoid and made them sit with their backs

to the wall the entire time.

Peyton was mad when he got home...he says he is old enough

to do stuff like Dads do, it's not scary to be on the roof!!

Red and White

just the way we like it!!

GO UTES.
